Apparatus for growing plants by means of water culture or hydroponics is disclosed. The apparatus includes raft means formed to receive and support the plants on a nutrient solution with their root systems extending therethrough while they grow to maturity. The rafts are formed for positioning in close proximity during all stages of plant growth to maximize the plant density per unit area of the solution. The rafts are preferably constructed for seed germination as well as for growth of seedlings to mature plants. Buoyancy of the rafts is increased during plant growth by placing a small raft on a larger raft or auxiliary buoyancy means.
